Hi! My name is Ashley and my interests coalesce around mathematics, philosophy, buddhism, knot theory, and my favorite book is A Brief History of Everything by Ken Wilbur. I'm originally from Seattle, WA but have lived in Coeur d'Alene, ID most of my life. I've been to Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. I've only traveled outside of the US to Calgary, AB, Canada. I would love to visit Mexico as my ancestors originate there. I collect electronic, ambient, rap/hip-hop, and experimental vinyl and have a small, unique collection of records that I enjoy listening to in my spare time. I work in property management currently and I enjoy it. I love gardening, listening to music, zen buddhism, Alan Watts, D.T. Suzuki, sauna and cold bath plunges, and am a highly curious person in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to stay in George, WA as I am going to The Gorge Amphitheater June 21st, 2025 through June 22nd, 2025 for the Beyond Wonderland festival at The Gorge. It will be my first time going to this festival at the amphitheater! I am beyond excited.
